Mrs. Ernest Nuss and baby- visited a few days the latter part of last week with grandma Nuss of Laura.

before the sale, on business, and while the family was away from home their house burned witli all the contents. It was very bad for them as their clothes were all burned, too. They were preparing to leave for Texas in a few days.

War Upon Pain! Pain is a visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly. But you are prepared for every emergency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is the greatest pain killer ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing required—it drives the pain away. It is. really wonderful. Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cali., writes: “Last Saturday, after tramping around rhe Panama exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn’t turn. I applied Sloan’s Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness’ had almost disappeared, four hours after the second application I was as good as new.” March, 1915. At Druggists, 25c Advt.

FAIRhOAKS. Health still continues quite good in these parts. Cottage prayer meeting was held at Abe Bringle’s Wednesday eve. The teachers all returned from their vacation and opened up school Monday morning. Mrs. V. G. Boyle, who has been visiting near Remington since Wednesday, came home Sunday evening.

V. (1. Boyle came home from Lacross Monday morning and spent the day at home, returning in the evening. . .lap Warbritten, who lives in John Casey’s house, had a general oldfashioned Thanksgiving feast on a couple of large and very fat opossums, which is Jap’s favorite meat. Mrs. William Cottingham and children of Momence, and Mrs. Roy Gundy of Gary, came over to spend Thanksgiving with relatives. They extended their visit for a few days. Mrs. A. B. |Tolen, of the Tolen ranch, expects to leave here about the 20 th for Mexico City to visit, her son and family, who are located there, lie is working in the government printing office. Ex-Postmaster Thompson, who has been suffering from a tumor in his head for some time, is not so well this week. He was .down town a few days ago and caught cold, so is suffering considerably again. Win ter 1 We certainly was visited with a full grown sample of winter a few, days the tirst of the week. While the snow did not get very deep the rabbits have been pursued by good-sized army of hunters. It was reported that, one of Ben Geesa’s daughters, who has been doing housework for .Mrs. Kinder Kennedy, in Mt. Ayr, was ill with scarlet fever, bttt Hast reports was that she was able to be up and wash the dishes and do other housework. G. T. Brown’s family, who live on Mel La Rue's farm west of here, has been quarantined on account of smallpox. One of the boys took down about ten days ago. He is all right now, but three more of the family are down with the disease. The Mead school near there has been discontinued for the present. Charles T. Otis of Chicago, is lying at Dr. Rice’s residence in Roselawn, today (Wednesday) dying. lieowned and operated a large tract of land in north Jasper and Newton counties as dairy farms, and has been a great help to poor people, especially foreigners who came to him for work. He never married, and the only near relative living is one brother who resides in Chicago. He also owned a large interest in several large office buildings in Chicago. Mr. Otis certainly will be greatly missed by people in the vicinity of Roselawn.

DEVELOPING ALASKA.

All the Strikes Made There Were AJade by Men Who Were Broke. All the strikes made in Alaska were made by men who were out of a job. If all the men in Alaska had been profitably employed all the time the country would never have been developed even to the present extent. It was, indeed, once said wittily that a prospector in Alaska is a man out of a job. You will notice all the time that when a man has no employment he calls himself a miner. In doing so he is telling a lot of truth, because when a man has no employment in this northern territory he turns to the hills and creeks, and he may turn to them for more than one purpose. He may go out and prospect or he may go out and pretend to prospect, to make his credit good. In the Atlin country in the old days, when the pay w as very slim, the phrase “standing off the grocer’’ was a regular synonym for prospecting, or even mining. These are some of the little things which one has learned by long years in the territory. They are things which new arrivals cannot see, and no one could expect outsiders tose* them, so the result is that people who do not know Alaska are the people whp warp men to keep our. 11 might be respect fu Ily suggested to Secretary Lane that the best way iir which to develop the country around the railroad would be to send as many broke men Up here as possible. That is, men who, though broke, have a backbone that isn’t broke. That is an exaggerated way, perhaps, -of pointing out a lesson, but there is a lot of reason in it, as most thinking sourdoughs will tell you. A wealthy man never made a discovery in Alaska. It is pretty safe to say that-, and it is even safe to say that no man who ever had a job in Alaska ever discovered anything. . Dawson was discovered by a Squawman, Nome by herders, Fairbanks by a Jap, and so on almost down the line. To go back to a subject which is often dwelt upon: Do the mining men of the Kenai Peninsula and the other districts around it ever feel that some sort of an organization of themselves would aid in the development of the country? At a first glance, at least, it looks as if a wellorganized body of men who are engaged in mining could perform an immense lot of good for the district, and therefore for themselves individually. The first great difficulty in all mining camps is to get Gateway.
